Prototype information

Midland 990 Class, a simple version of the 1000 Class Compound with no low-pressure cylinders.
4-4-0 steam locomotives were the mainstays of express fleets in Britain in the early part of the 20th Century. The model used for Project 1000, which gives its name to the set, is the Midland Railway 1000 Class, but similar locomotives were employed by all railways of the period.

Similar locomotives

The 4-4-0 Edwardian represents locomotives as varied as the GWR City, the NBR K Class, and the aforementioned MR 1000 Class compounds.

The most famous "Edwardian" 4-4-0 is, of course, Edward himself.
